Ghost Tour In Lancaster

Now let me give the following disclaimer. Any ghosts you see or hear are NOT MY FAULT! Read at your own risk.

Last weekend some friends and I got together for a Halloween adventure. Our first stop was Annie Bailey's for dinner. Except in my case I think it was more of a tease than a meal. I ordered scallops. Let me say I love scallops, they are my favorite seafood item. Well when my plate came there was more plate than food. There were 3 scallops and some weed pretending to be broccoli. Appetizing yes; satisfying NO. After dinner we all met at Penn Square in Lancaster. We started our tour and I learned some interesting things about Lancaster. The first thing was it is rumoured that the statue on the top of the monument at Penn Square once faced south. When the Union won the Civil War however it was turned around to face north. Next we stopped across the street from the Pressroom. It is here that the spirit of the highest ranking soldier killed on either side of the Civil War lurks. He apparently is pining for a lost love. Then we went to the Fulton where the spirits are too numerous to name. Two of note; while actors practice on stage they hear applause and a couple has been seen in the catwalks arguing. Then we went to the back of the Fulton to read a plaque marking the site of the Conestoga Indian Massacre. One day some locals went out and slaughtered most of the Conestoga Indian Tribe. The remaining Indians came into Lancaster to seek shelter. The were provided that at the Lancaster City Prison (now the Fulton). Then one night those same locals got in and slaughtered the rest of the Indians going so far as to drag their bodies through the streets. Those responsible never got punished even though Benjamin Franklin came to Lancaster and pleaded for justice to be done. This was the first I ever heard of this and I guess every city is capable of having a dark past. There were other stories but these stick out in my mind. So take the ghost tour it is interesting and in my opinion harmless.

So thanks to all that went; Decomposing Dave, AHHHH! Aimee, Bludgeoned Bubba, Gruesome Greg, Twitching Tracy, Killer Kim, Lurching Linda, KO ed Kylene, ANGel, Crushed Cory, Accidental Amanda and Woody the Walking Undead...BOO!
